stevoo, that's a great point now that you mention it. Nobody has brought that up. I just took a 6 foot level over to the trainer to see if there was any way I could check alignment. I know I can't really check the top tube because of the repair (maybe I sanded one side more than the other, maybe this, maybe that, etc. etc.) but I think I found a way to check the down tube. I rested one end of the level on top of the nut holding the through axel in the front and then rested the other end of the level on top of the eye-let that is on the top of the seat-stay. There was about an inch of space between the down tube and the level where they intersected on the left side. (The side that got hit) I then mirrored the setup on the other side and there was only about 7/8 of an inch on the right side. I can't say this is a super definitive test because if the front forks are off even a little or the eye-lets on the seat stays are off just a smidge, the experiment is void. But assuming they are absolutely perfect, then the down tube would need to move about 1/16th of an inch one way to make it perfectly centered. I'm thinking that's what could be referred to as an inconsequential amount based on the fact that the bike handles so well, but I'm all ears if anyone has a better way to check the alignment.

Great point though, thanks for brining it up.
